Two Officers Assaulted In Cleveland During Flag Burning Protest At RNC

Earlier today, we reported that a flag burning protest took place on Wednesday outside of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Now, it has been revealed that two officers were brutally assaulted in the chaos that led to 10-16 arrests.

According to Police One, two officers suffered minor injuries from the protest, with one bleeding from the elbow.

The Revolutionary Communist Party has claimed responsibility for the flag burning, with spokesman Carl Dix saying they organized the display because the flag is a “political statement about the crimes of the American empire. There’s nothing great about America.”

Dozens of officers, including Police Chief Calvin Williams, put their own lives at risk to break up the chaotic protest and protect the RNC. It’s this kind of bravery that millions of police officers show all over America everyday. Please keep ALL American cops in your thoughts and prayers!

Donald Trump’s irrational war on the media continues. In its latest installment, Trump threatened to nix daily White House press briefings. Instead of daily briefings, Trump wants to conduct them himself every two weeks.

Trump sat down to interview with Judge Jeanine Pirro and explain his reasoning behind the change. Earlier this week, he sent a tweet threatening to cancel all future press briefings “for the sake of accuracy.”

Trump stated, “We don’t have press conferences, we just don’t have them, unless I have them every two weeks and I do them myself. I think it’s a good idea.”

Donald believes the WH press briefings have “a level of hostility” that is ” very unfair” for Sean Spicer. He then stuck up for Spicer and called him “a wonderful human being.”

Pirro asked Trump if Spicer will return. Trump responded, “He’s been there from the beginning.”

Dan Rather has quickly established himself as one of Trump’s most eloquent enemies. The veteran general of the fourth estate has kept a running critical commentary on the administration’s constant mistakes, wrongdoings, and general idiocy. Today, he posted a brief, but insightful message on his Facebook page:

Rather’s comments come on the tail end of a turbulent week for the White House. Trump and his aides repeatedly contradicted each other, in particular with their explanations for the firing of FBI Director James Comey. Trump seems pathologically incapable of taking responsibility for anything he does, and so he constantly blames everything on his team.

The GOP underestimated the Democrats’ retaliation to the firing of James Comey. Mitch McConnell and AG Sessions plan to shut down any additional investigations into Trump-Russia while taking over control of the ongoing investigations.

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee aren’t going to let the GOP protect Trump so easily. They demanded that all materials relating to the FBI’s investigation into Trump-Russia and James Comey’s firing be preserved.

In light of today’s shocking decision by the President to fire FBI Director Comey, it is imperative that you take several immediate steps to protect the integrity of your investigations into Russian efforts to influence our recent election and related matters,” the Democrats wrote in a letter.

They asked that all materials related to “the Department’s and FBI’s criminal investigation into matters related to Russian interference in our federal elections; collusion with individuals associated with the Trump campaign; and associated matters” be saved and off limits to White House officials or associates.

The letter specifically named Attorney General Jeff Sessions as someone the documents should be protected from, citing his recusal from the Russia probe.
